The three of them returned to the dormitory after the meeting, and everyone was thoughtful.

"Selling fish is strong, what do you think?"

"I kind of understand why Lord Sivir asked us to study. If the naval fleet can cooperate with us and provide firepower assistance in our ground offensive, we will be invincible. After all, even the Emperor-class Titans couldn't withstand the orbital bombardment of several warships. ”

"We have a fart to learn, the key is whether the navy group of red deer learns or not. Normally they would send us to the battlefield and retreat directly, for fear that the ground defenses would hurt their precious battleship. ”

"That is, it is necessary for our Astral Army to destroy the ground defenses before they agree to enter the planet's orbit to provide fire support. It's not worth taking the lives of our astral army. It is clear that we can continue to bomb and destroy the defenses on the ground in space, but we have to carry out a ground attack. The lives of tens of thousands of soldiers are less precious than a few of his shells, and not as precious as a piece of armor of his battleship. ”

"The accuracy of the Navy's herd of red deer orbital bombardment is also impressive. I almost threw a cannonball on my head last time. I almost sent my troops to the emperor. ”

While discussing, the three scolded the Imperial Navy. However, the main thing is to scold the Imperial Navy. Everyone was unhappy with this group of old soldiers.

While the officers of the Astral Army were crawling and rolling in the sea of corpses and blood on the battlefield full of artillery fire, the naval officers were waiting on the ship, drinking wine and watching them suffer.

It's no wonder that the Astral Army can't get used to the navy. And the complaints of the three of them are not unreasonable, but they are a bit one-sided, and they only consider the problem from the perspective of the Astral Army. The Navy also has its own difficulties.

First of all, the Navy is indeed extremely valuable to its own ships, and is unwilling to let her be damaged in the slightest. If the lives of the Astral Army can be used to achieve strategic goals, then let them die heroically for the Empire. This is the strategy of the Navy, or rather the Empire.

But this is also a last resort.

The Imperial Navy is an invaluable and difficult resource to replenish, and they will only appear where the situation is most critical or will soon take a turn for the worse, and they will come into close contact with the enemy or wait for their work.

Damage to any ship is a complete nuisance. In order to repair ships, the Imperial Navy needs to do a lot of work with the Mechists. If you want to let the mechanical teaching do things, you have to ask grandpa to tell grandma.

Although the Imperial Navy has its own logistics department, academy, production facilities, and anchorages, it can only rely on the Mechanicus for a large amount of core technical work, and the Mechanicus and the Imperial Navy lack a high degree of unity of interests and political goals.

Even in the era of the Great Expedition, the construction of capital ships relied on the support of the Mechanic Cult, and now under the control of the Mechanic Cult, even the carrier-based aircraft have to be supplied through the Mechanic Cult.

If your Imperial Navy dares to repair or improve your ships without permission, then the Mechonia will dare to tell you that they have received the will of the God of Machines.

And then it takes a few days to soothe the soul and then a few days to pray. It will take a few years to change a piece of external armor for your ship.

Whatever good things are digested internally, it is impossible for you to use them in the Imperial Navy. You are not allowed to add good things yourself, you have to get the consent of my Mechanic Sect, let me take a look first.

The Mechachanists are so conservative and closed that no one would want to deal with them if they didn't have the vast majority of the Empire's productive forces in their hands.

This was one of the reasons why the Imperial Navy was reluctant to choose to shoot at ground defenses.

Another point is that the Astral Army and the Imperial Navy are two systems. Since the Empire's mortal auxiliaries were split by Killiman into the Astral Army and the Imperial Navy, the two armies have been working together much less.

The Great Expedition saw the Army, Navy, Astarte, and Mecha fighting together under the leadership of the Emperor and the Protogens never again appeared.

Now the Astral Army is under the command of the Commander of the Astral Army, and the Imperial Navy is under the control of the High Lord Admiral. Without a unified command, how can there be perfect coordination.

The supreme commanders of the two armies still quarrel all day long in the High Lord's Council, so how can the soldiers below cooperate sincerely?

In addition, the precision of the imperial navy's grand artillery is impressive.

Due to the large hulls of some ships, they must not get too close to the planets, otherwise they will be captured by the planet's gravity, or the hull structure will be damaged.

Therefore, large warships are generally far away from the planet, and it is impossible to enter the atmosphere to carry out strikes.

And in space, the shell shoots out, and then it flies straight to the target. However, under the influence of the gravitational pull of the planet and the interference of the gas inside the atmosphere, it is not easy for the artillery shell to accurately hit the target.

What if bombarded with a light spear? With high atmospheric visibility and ground guidance, the Imperial warship is indeed able to accurately name a building.

However, this type of attack is not very effective against defensive laser silos buried deep in the ground and super-large missile nests. If you can't quickly address the threat of these ground defense weapons, all that awaits you is shipwrecked and people die.

The accuracy of the macro cannon is not enough, so I use large-scale coverage to carry out saturation fire strikes, it's always okay.

This is indeed effective in destroying ground defense equipment.

But there is another problem here, it is generally the industrial world or the casting world of the empire that is installed with a large number of ground defense weapons. By the time you blow up your weapons, you'll be pretty much done with the factory equipment.

What's the use of the Empire now wanting such a ruined planet?

There are also some things like the Temple World, the Space Marine Recruiting World, and the like, where if you dare to orbit bombing, the Anglican or Space Marines will dare to fight with you.

There are also some planets that cannot be solved by simple orbital bombing due to various reasons such as the instability of the earth's crust, the hollowing out of the ground, and the fact that the continents are nesting upside down in the sky. If you are not careful, it will be a disaster for the whole planet.

Therefore, for the planet of humanity itself, where rebellion occurs, there is rarely such a thing as orbital bombing.

Usually the Imperial Navy is in charge of transportation, and it is up to you to decide it's you, come on, Astral Army!

Then go and blow up the greenskins, go and blow up the space necromancers, there are no humans on it, you can always show your skills.

Of course, this is to blow up if you want to, but what is the picture? If someone doesn't beat you, is there any benefit for you to hit him?

The cannonballs of the Empire don't fall from the sky, and if you have the kung fu to blow up others, you might as well make a few more trips to the Astral Army to solve the rebellion on a few planets.

(In fact, the most fundamental reason is that if you rely on the orbital bombardment of battleships to solve the problem, the chess pieces will not be sold.) ）

(And to tell a story, rationality should give way to drama.) Don't sit on that setting all day. People themselves don't have a unified standard, and some people are like moral pacesetters who go to the police everywhere. There are enough good filial piety. ）
